Back in the day, there were various dress reform movements against aspects of corset wearing (I.e materials used, tight lacing, age of corset wearing, style of corset worn). Of course, corsets can be comfortable if you wear them sensibly but who is ever sensible in the name of fashion? So history remembers all the harm caused by foolishness.

There was propaganda by anti-corset movement in the second quarter of the 19th century.
...just as the fashionable silhouette began to focus on a small waist and metal eyelets (and grommets) were beginning to be used in corsets (replacing the sewn and carved bone eyelets previously used). This allowed the wearer, if she chose, to lace her corset more tightly, and ✱some✱ people did... People read the books written by these "experts" and believed what they said (it is in print so it must be true, right?)1
Yeah. It seems that just because some people did something stupid, propagated by other haters, it blew out of proportion.
